Do you have really bad screen tearing on your ship for some reason I do I have a 5600/RX6600 8GB yes it's not a mega powerful card but for 1080p its fine for me, but I tried the latest new drivers but I was seeing screen tearing and I thought they were bad but it wasn't.

I went back to the 23.9.2s deleted the game cache and used DDU for every clean/uninstall in safe mode but nope screen tearing still shows. Settings are the same I was using Anti A is on in game but it's just awful

RX580 and no screen tearing.

You do know that Vsync is a thing right?

Vsync is on I have a free sync monitor

vSync does NOT fix the tearing at 100% ratio, it will at 95% at best, that is because the tearing happens when the FPS goes beyond (it is called fluctuation) the 60 mark with a monitor that does have 60hz (SUPPOSING that is the case).

To fix that, enable the hardware FPS cap (on the GPU config panel) to 57 or 58 FPS (if you have 60hz as monitor refresh rate, if not, let me know i'll tell you which cap is better), then disable vSync and you are done (ignore the loading screen, those seems to ignore the FPS cap, both hardware and software).

Also, DO NOT USE the software FPS cap (ingame) as it is bugged and will increase CPU usage and doesn't works correctly.


Let me know how it goes.

6800XT no issues here atm on the AFMF 2 Preview drivers works wonderful

My monitor is a Dell 144hz 24" the in game frame rate is set 144 ironically so should I disable that and enable the one inside the driver. At the settings I use for 1080p I get an average 57-70 in game but I reckon if I forced a perm min to max say 55 to 80 maybe. I know I'll never get 144 in this game with this card I upgraded last year from a rx580 8GB as that was officially showing its age.

Your using a far powerful card compared to mine bud

Yeah, don't use the ingame FPS limiter (software) but instead the one in your GPU config panel (hardare). It is called RADEON CHILL.

With my Sapphire Nitro 6800XT-SE i have my FPS limiter locked at 72 (i don't need more, no matter the game... i am fine with any game with those FPS) and unless i get to drop onto a really bad textured planet biome i never goes down from there (no matter if i have 2 billion of enemies at screen that shoot at me, it still stay fine).

The biomes that gets really bad on the FPS are two... the worst is the one with a lot of trees, that kills the FPS (too many destroyable objects i suppose as every tree can get destroyed) and the other one is where there is acid rain happening (The effect is really heavy when it starts), but beside that, every other planet is fine.


Also, be sure that the desktop resolution is at 1080 AND at 144hz. You might have never checked that and it might use 60hz.

The the only way to fix screen tearing on dx12 titles that can only run in windowed full screen mode is by enabling adaptive sync + vsync + uncapped framerates. In dx11 you could use fullscreen mode and freesync would work but alas, those days are going away.

Thanks I did the above but set it to 60 min and 75 max and turned on the feature to stop screen tearing as well and it's working fine now thank you I didn't need to do this before mind but clearly the game is in need for performance patches

Rx 7900xtx here. Game crashes since launch if U dont disable Anti aliasing and Global Illumination. They never fixed it.

Lower your GPU core a bit, that will stabilize it. It seems that the 7000 series have issues when going over 2200mhz for this game.

THANKS! The game seems to be more stable now!

Edit: Game is still crashing...
